　　Group Purchasing

　　In recent years， a new type of online shopping is rapidly gaining popularity — group purchasing， which was originally introduced from foreign countries but is now widely accepted all over China. People can buy not only goods， but also all kinds of services on group purchasing sites.

　　Group purchasing is very convenient， and saves people a lot of money. But it also has some problems. Since group purchasing is nothing more than another form of online shopping， the nature of it is no different from other online shopping patterns. Problems that exist in online shopping also can be found in group purchasing， like deceptive advertisements or poor after-sale services.

　　In my opinion， we should treat group purchasing as a way of shopping and nothing more. We must be careful not to buy something we don’t need only to follow the fashion.

　　Jogging has become the most popular individual sport in America. Many theories, even some mystical ones, have been advanced to explain the popularity of jogging. The plain truth is that jogging is a cheap, quick and efficient way to maintain (or achieve )physical fitness.

　　The most useful sort of exercise is exercise that develops the heart, lungs, and circulatory systems. If these systems are fit, the body is ready for almost any sport and for almost any sudden demand made by work or emergencies. One can train more specifically, as by developing strength for weight lifting or the ability to run straight ahead for short distances with great power s in football, but running trains your heart and lungs to deliver oxygen more efficiently to all parts of your body. It is worth noting that this sort of exercise is the only kind that can reduce heart disease, the number one cause of death in America. Only one sort of equipment is needed – a good pair of shoes. Physicians advise beginning joggers not to run in a tennis or gym shoe. Many design advances have been made in only the last several years that make an excellent running shoe in dispensable if a runner wishes to develop as quickly as possible, with as little chance of injury as possible. A good running shoe will have a soft pad for absorbing shock, as well as a slightly built-up heel and a full heelcup that will give the knee and ankle more stability. A wise investment in good shoes will prevent bilisters and the foot, ankle and knee injures and will also enable the wearer to run on paved or soft surfaces.

　　No other special equipment is needed; you can jog in any clothing you desire, even your street clothes. Many joggers wear expensive, flashy warm –up suits, but just as many wear a simple pair of gym shoes and T-shirt; in fact, many people just jog in last year’s clothes. In cold weather, several layers of clothing are better than one heavy sweater or coat. If joggers are wearing several layers of clothing, they can add or subtract layers as conditions change.

　　It takes surprisingly little time to develop the ability to run. The American Jogging Association has a twelve – week program designed to move form a fifteen-minute walk (which almost anyone can manage who is in reasonable health) to a thirty-minute run. A measure of common sense, a physical examination, and a planned schedule are all it takes.

　　1.They main purpose of this passage is to _____.

　　A.discuss jogging as a physical fitness program

　　B.describe the type of clothing needed for jogging

　　C.provide scientific evidence of the benefits of jogging

　　D.distinguish between jogging as a “common sense “fitness program and a cult (崇拜) movement

　　A.trains the body for weigh lifting

　　B.enables a person to run straight ahead for short distances with great power

　　C.is both beneficial and inexpensive

　　D.develops the heart, lungs, and circulatory systems

　　3.We can conclude from this passage that ______.

　　A.because of jogging, heart disease is no longer an American problem

　　B.jogging can be harmful if the runner is not properly prepared

　　C.warm-up suits are preferable to gym shoes and T-shirts

　　D.jogging is bad for the ankles and knees

　　4.The author’s tone ______.

　　5.As used in this passage, the word “mystical “ means ________.

　　A.awesome B.horrifying C.a spirtual discipline D.vicious

　　答案：ADBCC

　　There are spectacular differences between financial markets on the Continent of Europe on the one hand, and in Britain on the other hand. In Britain, the market is really the City of London. It is a free market, and it controls most of the flow of savings to investment. On the Continent, either a few banks or government officials direct the flow of funds to suit their economic plans. In Germany the flow is directed by all-powerful banks. In Britain there is more free interplay of market forces and far fewer regulations, rules and “red tape”. A French banker summed it up this way: “On the Continent you can’t do anything unless you’re been told you can; in England on the other hand you can do everything as long as you haven’t been told not to.”

　　There are many basic reasons for these differences. One is that Continental savers tend to prefer gold, cash or short-term assets. They invest only 10% of their savings in institutions like pension funds or insurance companies. But in Britain 50% of savings goes to them, and they, in turn, invest directly in equity market. A far lower proportion of savings is put in the banks in the form of liquid assets than on the Continent. Continental governments intervene directly or through the banks to collect savings together and transform them into medium or long-term loans for investment. The equity market is largely bypassed. On the Continent economic planning tends to be far more centralized than in Britain. In Britain it is possible to influence decisions affecting the country’s economy from within the City. It attracts a skilled and highly qualified work force. In France, on the other hand, an intelligent young man who wants a career in finance would probably find the civil service more attractive.

　　In Britain the market, or more accurately, money tends to be regarded as an end in itself. On the Continent it is regarded as a means to an end: investment in the economy. To British eyes continental systems with possible exception of the Dutch seem slow and inefficient. But there is one outstanding fact the City should not overlook. Britain’s growth rates and levels of investment over the last ten years have been much lower than on the Continent. There are many reasons for this, but the City must take part of the blame. If it is accepted that the basic function of a financial market is to supply industry and commerce with finance in order to achieve desired rates of growth, it can be said that by concentrating on the market for its own sake the City has tended to forget that basic function.

　　The gift of being able to describe a face accurately is a rare one, as every experienced police officer knows to his cost. As the Lancet put it recently:” When we try to describe faces precisely words fail us, and we resort to identikit (拼脸型图) procedures.”

　　Yet, according to one authority on the subject, we can each probably recognise more than 1,000 faces, the majority of which differ in fine details. This, when one comes to think of it, is a tremendous feat, though, curiously enough, relatively little attention has been devoted to the fundamental problems of how and why we acquire this gift for recognizing and remembering faces. Is it an inborn property of our brains, or an acquired one? As so often happens, the experts tend to differ.

　　Thus, some argue that it is inborn, and that there are “special characteristics about the brain’s ability to distinguish faces”. In support of this these they note how much better we are at recognizing a face after a single encounter than we are, for example, in recognizing an individual horse. On the other hand, there are those, and they are probably in the majority, who claim that the gift is an acquired one.

　　The arguments in favour of this latter view, it must be confessed, are impressive. It is a habit that is acquired soon after birth. Watch, for instance, how a quite young baby recognises his member by sight. Granted that his other senses help – the sound other voice, his sense of smell, the distinctive way she handles him. But of all these, sight is predominant. Formed at the very beginning of life, the ability to recognize faces quickly becomes an established habit, and one that is, essential for daily living, if not necessarily for survival. How essential and valuable it is we probably do not appreciate until we encounter people who have been deprived of the faculty.

　　This unfortunate inability to recognize familiar faces is known to all, but such people can often recognize individuals by their voices, their walking manners or their spectacles. With typical human ingenuity many of these unfortunate people overcome their handicap by recognizing other characteristic features.

　　1.It is stated in the passage that ______.

　　A.it is unusual for a person to be able to identify a face satisfactorily

　　B.the ability to recognize faces unhesitatingly is an unusual gift

　　C.quit a few people can visualize faces they have seen

　　D.few people can give exact details of the appearance of a face

　　2.What the author feels strange about is that _______.

　　A.people have the tremendous ability to recognize more than 1,000 faces

　　B.people don’t think much of the problem of how and why we acquire the ability to recognize and remember faces

　　C.people don’t realize how essential and valuable it is for them to have the ability to recognize faces

　　D.people have been arguing much over the way people recognize and remember faces

　　3.What is the first suggested explanation of the origin of the ability?

　　A.It is one of the characteristics peculiar to human beings.

　　B.It is acquired soon after birth.

　　C.It is something we can do from the very moment we are born.

　　D.It is learned from our environment and experiences.

　　4.According to the passage, how important is the ability to recognize faces?

　　A.It is useful in daily life but is not necessarily essential.

　　B.It is absence would make normal everyday life impossible.

　　C.Under certain circumstances we could not exist without it.

　　D.Normal social life would be difficult without it.

　　5.This passage seems to emphasize that ______.

　　A.the ability to recognize individuals is dependent on other senses as well as sight

　　B.sight is indispensable to recognizing individuals

　　C.the ability to recognise faces is a special inborn ability of the brain

　　D.the importance of the ability of recognize faces in fully appreciated by people.

　　Scattered through the seas of the world are billions of tons of small plants and animals called plankton. Most of these plants and animals are too small for the human eye to see. They drift about lazily with the currents, providing a basic food for many larger animals. Plankton has been described as the equivalent of the grasses that grow on the dry land continents, and the comparison is an appropriate one. In potential food value however, plankton far outweighs that of the land grasses. One scientist has estimated that while grasses of the world produce about 49 billion tons of valuable carbohydrates each year. The sea’s plankton generates more than twice as much.

　　Despite its enormous food potential, little effort was made until recently to farm plankton as we farm grasses on land. Now marine scientists have at last begun to study this possibility, especially as the sea’s resources loom even more important as a means of feeding an expanding world population.

　　No one yet has seriously suggested that “planktonburgers” may soon become popular around the world. As a possible farmed supplementary food source, however, plankton is gaining considerable interest among marine scientists.

　　One type of plankton that seems to have great harvest possibilities is a tiny shrimplike creature called krill. Growing to two or three inches long, krill provide the major food for the giant blue whale, the largest animal ever to inhabit the Earth. Realizing that this whale may grow 100 feet and weigh 150 tons at maturity, it is not surprising that each one devours more than one ton of krill daily.

　　Krill swim about just below the surface in huge schools sometimes miles wide, mainly in the cold Antarctic. Because of their pink color, they often appear as a solid reddish mass when viewed from a ship or from the air. Krill are very high in food value. A pound of these crustaceans contains about 460 calories—about the same as shrimp or lobster, to which they are related.

　　If the krill can feed such huge creatures as whales, many scientists reason, they must certainly be contenders as new food source for humans.

　　1.Which of the following best portrays the organization of the passage?

　　A.The author presents the advantages and disadvantages of plankton as a food source.

　　B.The author quotes public opinion to support the argument for farming plankton.

　　C.The author classifies the different food sources according to amount of carbohydrate.

　　D.The author makes a general statement about plankton as a food source and then moves to a specific example.

　　2.According to the passage, why is plankton regarded to be more valuable than land grasses?

　　A.It is easier to cultivate.

　　B.It produces more carbohydrates.

　　C.It does not require soil.

　　D.It is more palatable.

　　3.Why does the author mention “planktonburgers”?

　　A.To describe the appearance of one type of plankton.

　　B.To illustrate how much plankton a whale consumes.

　　C.To suggest plankton as a possible food sources.

　　D.To compare the food values of beef and plankton.

　　4.What is mentioned as one conspicuous feature of krill?

　　A.They are the smallest marine animals.

　　B.They are pink in color.

　　C.They are similar in size to lobsters.

　　D.They have grass like bodies.

　　5.The author mentions all of the following as reasons why plankton could be considered a human food source except that it is ___.

　　A.high in food value.

　　B.in abundant supply in the oceans.

　　C.an appropriate food for other animals.

　　D.free of chemicals and pollutants.
